VENClONs
Go.sfp Already Started and Candidates
Talked OF.

The District Republican nominating convention
10 meet next spring, to choose two delegates to
represent the District at the Republican Prestden-
t1al convention, has cast its shadow q long way
ahead. Already there is talk among the leaders
OF the colored Republicans here as to the candi-
dates. One Of them, talking to a STAR reporter,
explained the harmony that prevailed this year in
arrangements for the emancipation celebration.
'sYou he said "the party that gets control OF
the organization this year will have the upper
hand next year, when it comes to organize for the
convention"
Both factions, known as the Chase and the Car
son faction, viii be early In the field. A feature
OF the preliminaries. the primaries and the con-
ventl0n next spring, will be the absence OF the
department employees, who have hitherto exer-
cisco considerable influence in the conventions.
The rule against such employees taking part In
conventions OF this kind, it Is expected, WIN keep
them out. Perry Carson, w. c. Chase, A. st. A.
smith and other colored men are talked Of as can
oiQateS. lt has been an unwrftten law that one
delegate should be cOlored and the other white.
Mr. Arthur st. A. smith told a STAR reporter that
the two white men most spoken OF as candidates
are MT. Hallet kilb0urn and MI. Daniel E Cahill.
